The first album of new music from Ann and Nancy Wilson since 2010's
Red Velvet Car, Fanatic was recorded in hotel rooms and studios up and
down the West Coast, with Grammy-winning producer Ben Mink back at the
helm with the Wilson sisters drawing from their own lives and personal
experiences as inspiration for their music. 'Dear Old America' comes
from memories of a military household and is written from the point of
view of their father, a Marine Corps officer, returning from war ("When I
get home, I'm going to own this town/Shine this medal/Wear that
crown…."); 'Rock Deep (Vancouver)' harkens back to the city where
Dreamboat Annie was written; and 'Walkin' Good' (a duet with Vancouver

love.


The album track, ''Dear Old America', as well as the album's title track can be streamed in the player at this location. 'Fanatic' can also be heard via YouTube below:






"What a crazy year we are having," said Ann Wilson. "Our box set,
Strange Euphoria, and our book, Kicking and Dreaming, each tell the
story of our lives so far, personally and musically. Our new album,
Fanatic, tells our story as it is now and brings it all
up-to-the-minute. What a thrill to have worked with both Charles Cross
and Ben Mink respectively on these, and of course to touch the musical
magic Nancy and I have always shared together. Anybody want to RAWK??"



Heart will be touring throughout the summer and fall (June 29th -
November 17th). Alejandro Escovedo and Shawn Colvin will be supporting
in October and November respectively. On September 25th, Ann and Nancy
Wilson will be awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame (followed by
a live concert webcast).



Tuesday, September 18th marks the publication of the HarperCollins
hardcover edition of Kicking And Dreaming: A Story Of Heart, Soul And
Rock And Roll, the avidly-awaited insider's memoir penned by Ann &
Nancy Wilson with noted Seattle-based author Charles R. Cross (Room Full
of Mirrors - A Biography of Jimi Hendrix; Heavier Than Heaven - a
biography of Kurt Cobain).

Heart - Fanatic







Ann and Nancy Wilson will be honoured with a star on the Hollywood
Walk Of Fame on September 25th, on Hollywood Boulevard in front of the
Musician’s Institute.





Producer of the Hollywood Walk Of Fame ceremonies Ana Martinez
commented: “This location is a coveted spot for many Rock n’ Rollers
and these ladies will join the likes of bands JOURNEY and MÖTLEY CRÜE
who also have stars on that property. We are thrilled with this latest
star addition as many young, aspiring female rockers look up to these
legendary ladies of rock n’ roll.”


Ann and Nancy Wilson released their biography, Kicking And Dreaming, on September 18th via HarperCollins Publishers.


The story of Heart is a story of heart and soul and rock ’n’ roll.
Since finding their love of music and performing as teenagers in
Seattle, Washington, Ann Wilson and Nancy Wilson, have been part of the
American rock music landscape. From 70s classics like ‘Magic Man’ and
‘Barracuda’ to chart- topping 80s ballads like ‘Alone’, and all the way
up to 2012, when they will release their latest studio album, Fanatic,
Heart has been thrilling their fans and producing hit after hit. In
Kicking And Dreaming, the Wilsons recount their story as two sisters who
have a shared over three decades on the stage, as songwriters, as
musicians, and as the leaders of one of our most beloved rock bands. An
intimate, honest, and a uniquely female take on the rock n’ roll life,
readers of bestselling music memoirs like Life by Keith Richards and
Steven Tyler’s Does The Noise In My Head Bother You? will love this
quintessential music story finally told from a female perspective.





The mystery of ‘Magic Man’. The wicked riff of ‘Barracuda’. The
sadness and beauty of ‘Alone’. The raw energy of ‘Crazy On You’. These
songs, and so many more, are part of the fabric of American music.
Heart, fronted by Ann and Nancy Wilson, has given fans everywhere
classic, raw, and pure badass rock and roll for more than three decades.
As the only sisters in rock who write their own music and play their
own instruments, Ann and Nancy have always stood apart—certainly from
their male counterparts but also from their female peers. By refusing to
let themselves and their music be defined by their gender, and by never
allowing their sexuality to overshadow their talent, the Wilson sisters
have made their mark, and in the process paved the way for many of
today's female artists.


In Kicking and Dreaming, Ann and Nancy, with the help of critically
acclaimed and bestselling music biographer Charles R. Cross, recount a
journey that has taken them from a gypsy-like life as the children of a
globe-trotting Marine to the frozen back roads of Vancouver, BC, where
they got their start as a band, to the pinnacle of success—and sometimes
excess. In these pages, readers will learn the truth about the
relationship that inspired ‘Magic Man’ and ‘Crazy On You’, the turmoil
of inter-band romances gone awry, the reality of life on the road as
single women and then as mothers of small children, and the thrill of
performing and in some cases partying with the likes of the ROLLING
STONES, STEVIE NICKS, VAN HALEN, DEF LEPPARD, and other rock legends. It
has not always been an easy path. Ann struggled with and triumphed over
a childhood stutter, body image, and alcoholism; Nancy suffered the
pain and disappointment of fertility issues and a failed marriage but
ultimately found love again and happiness as a mom. Through it all, the
sisters drew from the strength of a family bond that trumps everything
else, as told in this intimate, honest, and uniquely female take on the
rock and roll life.


Throughout their career, Ann and Nancy have never found an answer to
the question they are most frequently asked: "What is it like to be a
woman in rock n’ roll?" Kicking and Dreaming puts that question to bed,
once and for all.
